Botox: The Latest Trends!

Botox is hotter than ever. Popularity of cosmetic treatments is exploding every year. More and more new treatments keep hitting the market and more patients are seeking out Botox at younger ages and for "off label" treatments. Off label treatments, are treatments that are not the traditionally used method, but an alternate method that patients are getting benefits from. 

What Everyone is Saying:
The general consensus for use of Botox at a younger age is to help prevent lines instead of waiting for them to show up and then correcting them. This has widely been accepted as a valid use with great results.  

One new study that has recently been presented at the American Academy of Dermatology has shown that women that use Botox consistently over a long term period not only perceive themselves as younger, but also feel younger. These woman report more energy, more active lifestyles, and better sex drives. 

Still Coming of Age: Xeomin
Younger patients are turning to Botox's little brother, Xeomin. Xeomin is a Botox alternative and uses a bioidentical form of Botox (Botulinum) results are equivalent in major studies and in 90% of my patients results are equivalent. Xeomin is a great alternative that shows faster results at less cost. Xeomin treatments can be about $100 dollars less on average of a typical Botox treatment. 

Newest Uses
The latest new use is Botox is an old one re-invented. Blocking excessive perspiration (hyperhydrosis). Botox has been used in the past for preventing excessive armpit perspiration which lead to its use to prevent hand or foot sweating. Now with all the time and money being spent on hair salons and dos, woman are having small injections of Botox into the scalp to prevent excessive sweating and preserve their new look. 


Botox is a brand name product produced by Allergan. Xeomin is a botulinum product equivalent to Botox produced by Merz Aesthetics. Both products are FDA approved and safe for use with no known long-term side-effects. Botox has been around since the early 80's.
